At that location, it's safe to say Black-capped for any chickadees you see.

@IKLland " I thought it might be a falcon until I saw the photos at home."

Yes, it's a House Sparrow. They were introduced to North America from Europe by humans.

I had posted something in two of my previous posts that broke a forum rules. I have removed it, and this is my apology for that, and that I started this whole discussion. It was not appropriate, on top of being rude. Thank you @Quiscalus quiscula for remaining reasonable, and polite, even though I wasn't necessarily doing either.
@Kevin Apology accepted! 🙂

@Kevin I agree with some things in your post, but there are some parts where I wonder if that was what you were really trying to say. You saying that "If for no other reason it helps get rid of that flabby, fat, feminine look, most all the younger generations of males have." seems to imply that a feminine look is associated with being flabby and fat, which I take issue with, as I don't think this is true in most cases. As a girl, I don't mind scratches, bruises, scabs, scars, etc. either, and have a high pain tolerance level, so does that "make a man out of" me!? Nor am I afraid of mud, insects, or have trouble entertaining myself without the Internet (yay birding!!).
I don't mean to come across as rude, so please let me know if I'm misinterpreting something.

I agree with @Snake Fingers. Bird species are split and merged mainly because of genetics, not based on physical appearance or ease to ID.

At first glance it felt like a Chipping, but the pale lores also gave me pause. The grayish rump and facial pattern dominated by eyeline suggest Chipping, so maybe just an aberrant Chipping Sparrow?? Chipping x Clay-colored hybrids have been recorded, but with the rarity of Clay-colored in Arizona I don't think that's really a possibility.

@blackburnian Thanks for the advice!
Actually, the post above yours is indeed the original, and was shot in NEF, although I had to convert it JPG in order for it to attach to Whatbird. In this case I edited it so that I could bring out the colors to confirm my ID, although I agree that it could be made into a nice silhouette photo as well.

Do you contact your reviewer directly on the missed-ID's or use the reporting function on eBird?
@chipperatl At the time I didn't have enough checklists to use the report function, so I had to contact him directly.
